experienced Wake Forest defensive back with a durable, walk-on grind
Pearcey’s Wake Forest profile shows a tough, team-first defensive back who earned his way into the program as a walk-on and was still listed at 5-foot-11, 200 pounds in the 2017 roster. His backstory matters: he arrived after a strong high-school junior season was interrupted by a torn ACL, which helps explain why resilience and persistence are part of his value package. He looks like a depth-and-special-teams type who fits a culture built on effort, preparation, and physicality rather than flash.
